I think you all know I love to stockpile. And hey, if you can get 30 cans of soup at the right price and you know you'll be able to use them - why not? For me though, (and I'm sure many of you go through this as well) - it's not always easy to follow the first in/first out rule. You know, when you buy those 30 cans of soup... Sure soup has a long shelf life, but you want to make sure you use the soup you buy first, first, and then use whatever additional soup you buy (0r whatever other product you're stockpiling) after you've gone through that first batch - right? And with some canned products, such as soup - it can be hard to rotate without a system, right? Well not anymore! :)

A few weeks ago, the wonderful people at Shelf Reliance sent me their Cansolidator Pantry to try out! The Cansolidator Pantry is a front loading food storage rotation system that holds up to 40 cans! This 11" x 20" storage unit is very sturdy and easily put together in about 10 minutes! The top and bottom horizontal pieces help to snap everything into place and keep sections even. The best part about it is it's entirely customizable - so you can have a whole line of small tomato paste cans or tuna fish while still accommodating over sized cans! With the Cansolidator Pantry I never have to worry about about taking from the front - I just load any new cans and they automatically are put in the right order. :) {Now if only I could find a system like this for all those boxes of cereal... ;) }

But let me go back - the Cansolidator is not only for stockpilers! I dare you to go look in your pantry right now. I guarantee you have at least 15 cans in there, and probably 10+ more. And with fall coming, I know you'll all be stocking up on soup! The Cansolidator will streamline your pantry (or cabinet) and make the most of your space - while helping you to have access to the cans that would normally get lost in the back! Now isn't it time you take control of your space?

Shelf Reliance is also the most trusted name in emergency preparedness! Their goal is to "help families prepare for whatever tomorrow may bring, so they feel confident if disaster strikes. We believe in educating people so you can become self-reliant."

I love the Ready Rack with the 3 small rows and 2 drawers. I could easily use this in place of one of my shelving units. It would be way more finctional. Please enter me. I am a soup hoarder too and could desperately use this! raerae177 at hotmail dot com

I would love the Expedition EssentialFour Person 72-hour Emergency Kit. I use to have something like this for my car back when I lived in Rhode Island. It would be nice to have something like that. Thank you for the great giveaway.

I absolutely love these! I check out the site, and what I really love is the Reserve. It's so good for people who live in an apartment and don't have enough space for the super mega sized shelves ... but we still have a stockpile.
